This
Veterans Day morning I drove down to
Atascadero and visited the
Pine Mountain Cemetery where my late father, a U.S. Army veteran, is buried. He died 27 years ago this month as I explained in
Losing A Father. I don't go to my father's grave much anymore and when I do it is usually on
Memorial Day or Veterans Day. Once I was done visiting there I headed over to the
Faces of Freedom Veterans Memorial across town where I visited for a short time although I missed the big Veterans Day celebration which was actually held there yesterday.
